Chapter 1598 - 1598:
Actually, Zhang Minmin is just Little Coquettish, she didn't think too deeply.
She said, "Elder cousin married her university classmate, who she's actually known since childhood, a son of a noble family, named Tang Zhi."
Liu Zhizhong was shocked, "From Tiandu's Tang Family?"
"Yes, the Tang Family. Oh? You also know the Tang Family?"
Liu Zhizhong gave Zhang Minmin a disdainful look and said, "I haven't been to Tiandu, but I'm aware of the noble families there. Coincidentally, I know about Tang Zhi."
Zhang Minmin rolled her eyes at him, "Oh, oh, oh, when it comes to people in officialdom, you know them again?"
"Heh heh, of course I do, sigh..."
Liu Zhizhong sighed again, a deep sigh indeed.
He was clear about Tang Zhi, because last time his godfather went to Tiandu for a funeral and attended a royal banquet, and had talked about Tang Zhi upon returning.
Tang Zhi is currently 41 years old, but he's mixed into a prestigious department, already a quite young high-ranking official.
Tang Zhi is average looking, you could say plain, but supported by his prominent family background, with the Tang Family giving him a push, his development is quickly rising!
Tang Zhi's future is bright and promising.
In terms of family background, Zuo Xintong marrying him is indeed reasonable.
But from a couple's appearance standpoint, they really don't match up.
Liu Zhizhong could completely feel that Zuo Xintong contacts him not using voice, but text, and recently isn't close with him either, clearly she's not very satisfied with the marriage, sigh...
Since she's married, ah, in the future... heh heh... better let it go, right? Engaging in a secret love affair might stir up big trouble.
Yet in his mind, her charming face appears, and the passionate moments they shared, Liu Zhizhong can't forget, and it weighs on his heart!
Furthermore, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, shaking his head, secretly scolding himself: Is this living out a romance drama male lead's life or what, pfft, pfft, pfft, why not be a bit more like a man?
But Zhang Minmin chided, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you, with that demeanor, what are you smiling bitterly about? Are your heart pains for my elder cousin too?"
"No, no, just a bit of pity, that's all. After all, you know, Tang Zhi doesn't look that great, quite ordinary, just has a good background and political status, sigh~~~ I think your elder cousin should find someone better!"
Then Zhang Minmin became serious, "Exactly! Tang Zhi really looks like a fool, sigh~~~ but there's no choice, their marriage could be seen as a strong alliance between noble families right? After all, elder cousin's brother, my elder cousin, also needs to make a go of it in politics, needs alliances, needs support."
"So does sister sacrifice her happiness like this?"
"What else can be done? You tell me?"
"I can't say anything, I'm not qualified..."
"..."
On the night the small wooden cabin at Tianping Peak was completed, it was supposed to be full of passion and joy.
In the end, Zuo Xintong got married, and it seemed to shatter Liu Zhizhong's heart a bit, if not very much, he hid it well, so Zhang Minmin couldn't notice.
Originally thought that the two cousins could still enjoy together, but now it seems really unlikely, and a bit intimidating too.
Becoming the daughter-in-law of Tiandu Mansion's Tang Family, Liu Zhizhong thinks about it and feels timid. He even has a bad premonition that the day Zuo Xintong leaves Huayang City might not be far away...
